Summary: Double free when calling `sys_info::disk_info` from multiple threads
Details: Affected versions of `sys-info` use a static, global, list to store temporary disk information while running. The function that cleans up this list, `DFCleanup`, assumes a single threaded environment and will try to free the same memory twice in a multithreaded environment. This results in consistent double-frees and segfaults when calling `sys_info::disk_info` from multiple threads at once. The issue was fixed by moving the global variable into a local scope. ## Safer Alternatives: - [`sysinfo`](https://crates.io/crates/sysinfo)
